So as the title says I am selling my phone through one of thoes websites and I think its best for the origional firmware to be on the phone. So my phone has hspl installed. well I can flash any of the 2.5 roms by just clicking the customruu.
When I first installed the hspl the origional roms colors were all messed up but everything thing fine once I installed a custom rom on it.
How do i get my phone back into its origional state?
Thanks a lot
So I have gone to htc website and am downloading their rom upgrade for my phone it is
_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
With my current version of hspl will I be able to just install this and then somehow downgrade my hspl to whatevre it was to start with?
leave it where it is and charge more for custom rom
I tried a few cooked roms and I like some things about them and others I dont, so I was going to flash my phone back to stock and if there are any upgrades/updates I would like to do so also.... Please advise me, should I do this why or why not... and How can I go about doing this ? (Would I just use hspl2 1024 and reinstall 2.08 first, then install the latest stock rom ? -but where can I find the latest official stock rom?-can I get it from htc? )....
thanks in adavance...
If you have already run hspl2 there is no need to do it again. All you need to do is download the shipped rom (available here and at ppcgeeks.com) and flash it. There haven't been any updates for the stock rom as of yet. Your personal choice on if you want custom rom or stock. Custom roms usually have less bloatware and performance enhancements that make them ideal over the stock rom.

looking for help
I installed hspl 2.08.0000 and flashed a custom rom, then I tried to flashed a vodafone Uk shipped Rom and now my Hd2 won't even boot up, when I connect it to the usb windows xp sees the device and tries to install a driver but then fails to find a driver. I cant even use mtty because usb is not listed as one of the selections. does anyone know how to help Please
Could be because you flashed a shipped rom that is for a different device. The european HD2 is different than the US HD2. If you have a US HD2 flash a rom that is designed for 1024 Leo (recommend Miri and Steve's Eleganicia). Put the phone in bootloader and then flash from pc or you can rename the .nbh from a rom to LEOIMG.nbh and place that in the root of your storage card to flash. Can get to bootloader by holding volume down and pressing the reset button under the back cover, holding vol key til tri-colored screen appears.
it wont let me get into bootloader mode, my computer does see the hd2 but wont let me access the usb
Maybe someone else can chime to correct me if im wrong but sounds like you now have one expensive paper weight. Flashing a rom that is not for your phone is not good.
Flashing a Euro Rom on your TmoUS HD2 will brick your phone - for good. Why are so many people doing this?
tmo are sure to get wise to this and stop replacing them at this rate. I've seen 6 or 7 people with the same problem in two days.
Guys with a tmous,
1 - DONT flash any stock roms except the one from tmous. Stock roms include a radio and it will kill your phone.
2 - DONT flash any radio with a .51. in the version. It will kill your phone.
3 - dont flash any cooked rom not based on the 2.10 rom. It will kill your phone. (i think, , , possibly recoverable, not sure yet)
4 - most of all read first, flash later.
OK PLEASE do not hijack the topic,
Remember I asked how can I reset my phone back to completely stock (like when I first bought it).... and then after that I would like to update it (if there are any updates)....
Thanks for all the advice so far...

2 ways.
1 - connect phone via USB, run hspl1024, choose spl 2.08.0000, thats your spl back to stock. Then flash the tmous 2.1 rom over usb, thats your radio and rom returned to stock.
2 - you can get the tmous 2.1 rom, extract the file ruu_signed.nbh, copy it to sd card, rename it leoimg.nbh and reset your phone, which will see the nbh file and flash it, and because it is from sd card it will also reset the spl (and radio) to stock.
i'd go for option 1, as i haven't read much about people flashing sd card on the tmous, so for now steer clear.

it's the spl that voids the warranty, not the rom. when you boot to bootloader, so long as it says
spl 2.08.0000
then you are good to go.
Thank you!
I read on another thread how to uninstall HPSL from your HD2 is the process for the non t-mobile branded phone the same as the one for T-mobile. The reason I ask this is my phone has some really bad dead pixels and I still am within my return period and I'm going to swap the phone out. I don't want dumb customer service thinking flashing caused the dead pixels. Wish there was a way to fix the pixels i've did some searches nothing really worked. Thanks point me in the direction how to remove HPSL.
reflash stock rom
flash any of the tmous stock roms over usb, then run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000
Ok recently I flashed the version 2.10.1 *No Stock SPL!!! to get my phone back working like it was from t-mobile so I need a different stock rom with an SPL correct you stated. Flash a stock rom then run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000 what is 2.08.0000 the radio or rom, because I don't see that version on the thread with the stock roms. I just need a little more clarity before doing it thanks.
Ok I think I understand what you're saying now I'm going to try to get it done and let you know what happens thanks appreciate it.

basically you no longer need to find a stock rom with a stock spl, , , hspl1024 now includes the stock spl as well as the hspl. when you run hspl1024, there's a dropdown list. If you pick one that ends 0000 then it will flash a stock spl to your phone. If it ends hspl, then it flashes hspl to your phone. easy.

sam - thanks for you info and help, lots of people are asking and you have been very clear in how to flash custom roms after flashing the 2.13 rom. Do you know of work being done on the latest htc spl to Hspl? - so that flashing an old rom will again not be needed?
side question - does the spl have anything to do with performance or battery life? I'm on my 3rd day of this battery charge, I rarely have made it to the 2nd day before.
Can I boot/intall Android with HSPL?
im guessing yes cause i had to HSPL my phone to run energy rom, and now im running froyo
What you mean is Android on the NAND? No, not yet.
What you can do, is to flash a custom ROM (without Android).
The Android has to be on the SDCARD!
Sorry my question was can I boot/intall Android without HSPL?
I have seen mixed opinions on installing without HSPL. The problem usually comes in when you go to make calls. People can get Android running on a completely stock HD2, but you usually need a different radio for clear audio in calls, ie no robo-voice. If you don't want to change from the stock Rom, I would still suggest running hspl and flashing a new radio. it will help to keep you from getting too angry.
Good luck.

I like the stock ROM for the most part. In the most of custom ROMs, the start menu is the bottom which I dont like. And I have to unlock which will void warranty. I have bricked my HD2 once! So not comfortable installing HSPL and Custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs come in WinMo 6.5 versions (which is what you're looking for; for example the Core Cell Evo, which is a very nice ROM and supposedly compatible to Android [I guess in terms of robot voice, haven't tried it, yet] since V3; or Elegancia ROM Series, which I use myself and can therefore confirm that it solves the robot voice problem) and of course in 6.5.5 versions (which have the start button at the bottom). Therefore, a custom ROM does not necessarily mean a totally new WInMo experience.
Other than that, I see no real problem in installing HSPL on the phone. It rather prevents bricking your phone, so why not do it. And in case you have to make use of the warranty, you can always uninstall HSPL in order to "make it stock" again.
It is recommended by most devs that HSPL 2 (or 3) should be installed beforehand

Let's put it like this:
If you already have a radio of 2.08 or above and a stock ROM that does not give you the robot voice or you don't care about the robot voice, then you don't need HSPL at all (as long as you're running Android off the SD card, which you might not want anymore as soon as it's flashable to Nand, which it is not yet).
If, on the other hand, you need to flash anything in order to make it work (new Radio, custom ROM), then HSPL is either recommended (in order not to brick your phone) or absolutely necessary (because most custom ROMs won't be flashable without it).
Hope that clears it up a bit more, pls correct me if I was wrong on anything.

Yeah, well, then it's (like I wrote) most likely the stock ROM that's causing it. So either you learn t live with it or I strongly advise to install HSPL prior to flashing a custom ROM. And to prevent a question: No, at this point in time, there is no other workaround known to me. Like I said, live with it it or change it.
EDIT: Since you say you're uncomfortable about instaling HSPL and that you have bricked your phone once, I assume that you did not install HSPL when that happened? In the sense of you bricked your phone while trying to install a custom ROM without prior installation of HSPL? If that's the case, get some information on HSPL again, it's your friend, not your enemy It basically keeps you from bricking the phone. Of course, there always remains some risk, so whatever you do, you do it on your own risk. Don't come back here saying "You told me nothing could happen when I hae HSPL." That's not how it works

Just like they said in the other post, try entering the bootloader by turning off the phone, holding the "volume down" button, keep holding it, press the power on button while still holding the volume down. While in bootloader, you can flash a working ROM either from USB or from your SD card (see HSPL info for that process)... like I said, HSPL does not prevent anything from going wrong if there's an error in a ROM or whatever, it just leaves "a back door open"...
But that's kinda offtopic anyway In fact, if your aim is to get android running, I suggest one of the ROMs that are reportedly working, like Energy, Chucky, Miri (original or Elegancia), supposedly Core Cell Evo v3 etc... why cook your own when you don't wanna run WM anyway

As soon as I installed HSPL on my phone, my HD2's screen would not work. How do I uninstall HSPL without having to touch the phone? Is this possible? Also, I have searched and searched for a newbie version of how to uninstall HSPL, and I cannot find anything. PLEASE HELP!
The firmware on it was 1.48.405.2, S/N HT9CSNW01982
Couldn't download the update from the HTC site with this serial, it said that the download is not suitable for this device.
Tried to flash using the exe and active sync, but at 1% would say "error [294] invalid vendor id"
Tried to install HARDSPL, but it was unable to connect to the device, though it was connected to active sync, and HSPL did manage to bring out the bootloader.
So I used mtty without HARDSPL, which bricked it.
Now it doesn't boot, it just stops at the first screen with the green HTC on white background
I've tried hard factory reset, but it's no help
If I try to flash from SD with any stock ROM, it displays "00028002 not allow"
It boots the bootloader, as follows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(Led) 0x05
MicroP(touch) 0x30
I don't know if it was branded and then unlocked, the guy I've bought it from said he got it retail and it was never locked. I can't be shure about that, all I know is that it's bought from UK
Can anything be done or should I start using it as a paperweight?
mtty has removed your operating system so of course it won't boot.
enter bootloader, flash a rom, fixed.
I tried to flash from SD with stock ROM, but it displays "00028002 not allow"
I used 1.48.405.2 from the HTC site (which was supposed to be it's original version), but nothing
Any ideas?
sounds like you are using teh wrong stock rom.
You cant just flash any stock rom, it must be the correct rom for your phone. So if your phone was originaly vodaphone germany, you must use a vodaphone germany rom, else it wont flash.
If you use hspl2, then you can flash anything you like.
Example
get the 1.66 wwe rom from official roms thread.
boot phone into bootloader.
connect usb.
when 'serial' changes to 'usb' right click hspl.exe and choose run as administrator
when it runs choose 1.66.hspl
when it completes, return to bootloader again
connect usb
when 'serial' changes to 'usb' run the 1.66 wwe.exe file.
I know what happened... I followed the MTTY thread and changed the default win7 active sync drivers with the ones from the thread. So that's why hspl would not connect...
Can I use 2.08.HSPL from HSPL3 to flash the latest 3.14.405.2 stock update from HTC?
And another thing... how can I find what's the original firmware for my phone? Because I know it was bought from the UK and the firmware on it was 1.48.405.2
i think the 1st port of call for you is to get the correct update updat for your phone , if there is one. o2 and other providers have not yet had updates (3.14) for their branded phones . go to htc uk , put your s/number in and see if they have an update for you , if you get the "this update is not suitable for your phone" or similar , message , this means that you have a branded phone that the generic update is not suitable for
Yes it does say that, but my problem is that I don't know from what provider it is, since I bought it second hand. Is there any way to find this out?

?? That should have been a pretty good indicator that it wasnt going to work.......
I think some reading is in order before you attempt this again.............
I did read, that's why I tried to use HARDSPL
I managed in the end to install 2.08.HSPL, but if I try to flash any stock ROM, it stops after (presumedly) it flashes the bootloader and displays "not allow" again
I am able though to flash custom roms.
Is there any way to find what was the original (branded?) firmware, so I can track it down? Or maybe to strip the bootloader off a stock ROM, so I can use it with HSPL?
only "method" i know is to take your s/n and try to download offical roms on htc's site.
if you can download a vodafone one, its vdf branded, if you can download a o2 one, its o2 branded and so on..

Call HTC support and tell them you want to upgrade your phone, but bought it unbranded and don't know which country it belongs to. That's what I did and they told me without any issues.
Once you have it, download and run.
Also, try some of the more esoteric regions. My phone was from Czech and although the website is not in English, the ROM upgrades were, so I was able to flash stock w/o issues
my phone is vodafone (i removed the simlock) and the HTC website told me no update for you.
so i used a custom rom.

are you sure you got it unlocked? Did you see the "we unlocked it" screen? Also, flashing a stock ROM from the sd card locks the hspl again so that may be your problem. Don't flash a stock ROM from your sd card unless you want it locked.
Indeed, I tried to flash it from the SD card, because I had no OS to boot to. So I flashed a custom ROM from th SD, then flashed a stock ROM via active sync and now the stock ROM runs happily on HSPL
Big thanks to all who answered my post and helped me to revive my phone!
